Our stay had positives & negatives. The older building is a short walk from the Skytrain on a narrow, busy road without proper sidewalks. Cars and motorcycles pass close to pedestrians, especially with the constant road work. The building is older with no good outside area to sit. The balcony mentioned holds a washing machine and a single chair. There is no view. The place was clean and the bed, pillow and bedding were fine. The two air-conditioners are noisy. The two-burner cooktop was tricky to figure out and the vent above did not work. The washing machine / dryer combo needs to be repaired / replaced, although there are good machines off the lobby and a drinking water dispenser which saves lugging from supermarkets. The bathroom shower and water pressure are good and like many buildings in Bangkok you must not throw paper products in the toilet. The area is popular with a cluster of bars, good supermarkets, but no restaurants of note. There is a new coffee machine. So-so value.
